Thrift Flip | Up Cycling Jeans | easy DIY denim pleated skirt, corset & shoulder bag

Hey guys! I am back again with another thrift flip. This is my first video using a sewing machine! DO NOT WORRY, I am not discontinuing my hand sewing tutorials. I just want to be able to put out more content for you guys and have a variety of these sewing videos on my channel. In this video, I am transforming three pairs of jeans into a pleated skirt, corset and a shoulder bag. I am not a professional, so don't take this video too seriously! Hopefully, this video is enjoyable to watch and gives you some inspiration to revamp unwanted pieces in your closet. Please leave any questions and video suggestions in the comments below.
xoxo, Jess

[@jessicasu6594]

Awhh yay! this makes me so happy!! 😭💗

[@asmigupta2338]

​@@jessicasu6594hey i am begginer so i just had one doubt, how did you sew the top part of the skirt to the bottom part? And btw the skirt is amazing. So are the corset and bag.

[@bee475]

I primarily watched this for the ruffle tutorial. I gotta say, you have such a clear and comprehensive way of explaining how they work!

[@jessicasu6594]

yay!! tysm

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

That pleated jean skirt flip is adorable. It definitely gives retro Y2K vibes yet it’s still timeless because it’s not a micro-mini skirt like the Y2K version of this look. Great work will all the flips!

[@jessicasu6594]

Thank you so much

[@anyapeanut69]

A skirt, body-hugging top (ooh a corset so it's much better), and a cute bag... everything that I have been thinking for the past hour was made in this video. Thank you so much! I'm so lucky to see this first and not waste my time looking for 3 videos that teach individually what I want & need to do. 😊

[@jessicasu6594]

So glad this helped! Happy sewing

[@Bread0523]

[@oliviaroaldsen1929]

Hi!! For the pleats on the skirt I was wondering.. how do you know the the long piece will make it all the way around the skirt? 😊

[@ginza_animatex4083]

Question! How did you sew the pleated part and the top part of the skirt together without closing off the bottom of the Top part of the skirt? Sorry if that doesn'r make sense

[@siennaadea6072]

i can barely get four panels from my jeans for the skirt

[@asanovabotakan5707]

😍🛐

[@jessicasu6594]

💗💗💗

[@meskkhater988]

how much seaming allowance did u leave for the length ??

[@jessicasu6594]

you always want to leave about half an inch to an inch of seam allowance! Honestly my best advice is for any beginners to leave as most seam allowance as possible, so you can easily correct any mistakes that you may come across :))

[@coastalshenanigans4413]

I know this is kind of an old video, but why should remove the pockets on the jean skirt then sew them back instead of just keeping them on?

[@Jacqueen]

Wondering the same. Really cute skirt tho😊
